Enchanted Vagabonds is a book written in the 30's by Dana & Ginger Lamb of their adventure after building a sailing canoe and sailing from southern Calif to Panama. The trip took two years and really shows how wild Baja & Mexico was during that period.
The book may be hard to find but I think it is still in print. I have read it a couple times and really enjoyed it.
Thought some of you C-brats would like a little armchair adventure this winter.

For those who live in KIng County, WA there are still two copies available at KCLS (King County LIbrary System.) The book was originally published in 1938, and the catalog shows 2 copies with a 2001 publish date.

This library system services readers living outside of Seattle, and has the highest circulation of any library system in the nation. It is a great resource!
